Radio DJ Richard Hardiman's travel motto is "be prepared" and he readily admits he can rough-it in a tent, jump of bridges and be quite happy in the spa.

You’re Hardiman the Partyman on KFm 94.5, what’s the craziest thing a fan has done to get your attention?
Richard Hardiman: I think one of the scariest things happened when a woman brought a whole two course meal that she had cooked for “us” to the studio – I was doing a late show at the time… when it happened I thought it was quite sweet but looking back it may have been a little obsessive on her part!

Do you mind being recognised while on holiday?
"Great thing about radio is that this rarely happens – I have to admit though when paying with a credit card the questions normally start… I try and travel with cash now!

With our great packages, you too can be a great traveller like Richard Hardiman.

What’s the most exciting place your career has taken you to?
"i have travelled extensively in my time on air – I think Las Vegas will always be a highlight; that and travelling to see the BeeGee’s on a train to Pretoria…very surreal!

Have you been on holiday recently, if so, where and what was it like?
"My wife and I went to Mozambique last year on Honeymoon – I have never really travelled much up that side of the African Coast – it was amazing! Better than some island resorts!

Are you a bush baby, eco adventurer, extreme thrill-seeker, beach bandit, or five-star freak?
" I am a wonderful mix of all of them! I can rough-it in a tent, jump of bridges and be quite happy in the Spa…I just have to know what I am getting into beforehand so I can get my mind set.

Your favourite hangout in the global village is...
" New York – hands down!

Locally you prefer to hang out at...
"We spend a lot of time in Arniston up the coast on holidays – it’s a family thing and fast becoming one of my most favourite spots and ways to relax.

Your travel nightmare would have to be...
" A travel companion that is needy – I used to travel for a living and I got my travel modus operandi very well sorted out…there is nothing like a newbie with no clue to get a cab to Manhattan or where the luggage collection in LAX is…

Travelling in style is...
"Being comfortable! Beyond that I don’t need much more!

Are you a walking holiday itinerary or a spontaneous relaxation rebel?
"Very spontaneous – often with disastrous results!

Have you had or made any mile-high club propositions?
" I had a lady wink at me several times and nod towards the loo’s… I assumed she just wanted make sure I knew where they were?

Your ideal travel companion is...
"My wife… she is very together.

You never travel without your...
"My Ipod, a good book and a change of shirt.

Tip to make and not break the holiday...
"Be prepared – nothing worse than arriving at a destination thinking you were in a hotel and staying by the beach, when in actual fact you are camping on a glacier…know your destination…it also saves on packing!

What keeps you coming back for more...
"The people and the destination – I think people make a place. For example New York. It’s a great city but the New Yorkers make it worth seeing more than once!"
